7.7%
peer rank #13/17

ROE is decomposed into how profitable each sale is (net margin), how hard the asset base works (asset turnover), and how much leverage amplifies it (equity multiplier). Homebuilder returns are driven primarily by margin and inventory turns; a high equity multiplier signals balance-sheet leverage rather than operating quality. Period-end balances; see methodology.
